Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Jan and Antoinette unpack how parts of the media managed to spin a fake letter into a real panic about a new mosque in Western Sydney. No less than three separate media outlets whipped up outrage over a story with some shaky foundations. We also name and shame the daily newspaper that accidentally printed a ChatGPT prompt in its own business story, and what that slip says about how deep AI already runs in newsrooms… including ours.  Plus, Jan got shadowbanned on Instagram and had to get her norks out. Is this really what it takes to break free of a shadowban?Antoinette watches a cluster of News Corp journalists get probed for alleged racism, in a case that could end up before the Federal Court while Jan salutes our Etterati for their sharp eyes and ears (and dobbing skills). Grab your tickets to our live shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra.Almost sold out:  ‘Etterati: Members Only’ or ‘It’s A No From Me’ tee grab here.Watch the episode in full here if you want to see our mugs as we yap.
